Temple of the Isle of Belvedere at Buttes-Chaumont Park is a reproduction of the Vesto temple at Tivoli Gardens in Rome, sitting atop Belevedere Island in the middle of the park. Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is one of the most romantic parks in Paris. It was once a quarry, so there are many rock formations and hills that are made use of in the design of the park. Jean-Charles Adolphe Alphand's plan was to re-use the rock formations to their advantage in creating a hilly terrain, with trails leading up to a pavilion on a high cliff. There are also waterfalls and a bridge which springs from a cliff face to a pinacle crowned by a temple. Buttes-Chaumont is considered to be a triumph in landscape design
